Chapter 346: A Power Capable of Freezing Reality (2)
*
Matt's attacks were strange, to say the least.
They didn't seem to have any power, but somehow, they managed to take out two of his limbs in a moment. Also, you couldn't tell exactly where he was because when everyone thought he was dead, he was behind that old man.
That shows that he possibly has a powerful domain that they can't notice.
So... 'Is he trying to immobilize me?' The old man looked at his hands at that moment. There was nothing there, which was strange to him and he looked at Vanessa.
For a moment, he forgot to attack, trying to decipher what this weird guy they had encountered was trying to do.
But on Vanessa, he found nothing; she was attacking Matt, who was flying backward at high speed, with a pained face and blood dripping from his lips.
Vanessa jumped at him while throwing enough attacks to close all possible exits.
Then, several attacks hit a pained Matt, splitting him in two.
'Ice again?' The man who watched this with suspicion became alarmed as soon as he saw that she had failed to hit Matt. Instead, she had once again split an icy chunk with Matt's appearance.
"Miss, look out!" he shouted unconsciously.
But then a whisper reached him.
"No, you must be careful yourself." Matt said, and that's when he managed to touch him on the back.
Vanessa had been quick, so she, not caring what would happen to that old man, jumped once more to where Matt was.
But this time, Matt didn't attack her back. Instead, he jumped backward in the air and opened both arms.
"Human woman, this is what a power that surpasses the top of the pyramid looks like. Observe very well what Freeze Reality means!" With a loud shout, Matt was finally able to do what he wanted to do.
Suddenly, all around and rising from small invisible ice cubes floating in the sky, everything began to freeze.
A strange ice spread from one side to the other, freezing everything around. It was a strange and powerful freeze.
The riddles it hid seemed to be gripping, but at the same time, a great number of attacks were unleashed upon the three elders.
These attacks seemed to come from within and from without. They let out a loud cry of pain at that instant after being attacked from all sides, and the blood of powerful people surrounded the ground.
No one could tell or know where the hell all these attacks were coming from, and Matt wouldn't explain it either. But within seconds, the three old men turned into bloody, dying puddles.
'It's a shame...' Matt smiled one last time towards Vanessa Cromwell, who was frozen, but all the ice around her seemed to be breaking up.
Then he froze time once more and disappeared from the place.
As soon as he disappeared, everything returned to normal in time, and Vanessa's enormous power exploded the chunk of invisible ice holding them back.
The old man who had been left floating in the sky fell to the ground, his blood spreading everywhere, while Vanessa fell quietly.
Even now, she still didn't understand what had happened.
'How is it possible for such powerful people to be injured like that by someone with less than 50,000 power?' She went over to check on the well-being of these elders, who were unconscious.
She was still processing what had just happened.
Four people, 1 with over 100,000 power. The other three with 90,000 power, the elite of the Human Empire! They had lost to a vampire with less than 50,000 power.
Just the thought of that made Vanessa shudder. 'I've never seen anything like that...' Not only that, the vampire ran away.
As she tried to look into the horizon, she couldn't see or feel anything.
'What an absurd situation...'
It was then that several Grand Sorcerers came running to see what was going on. They arrived rather late, though.
Still, they came with news.
"Imperial Princess, a great commotion arose in the Capital City!"
"The vampires are attacking in force and seem to have tremendous power in the capital!" Their cries made Vanessa worry about the situation.
Even when she herself came in person, they had failed to obtain the target.
Still, she wasn't about to give up.
...
Elsewhere, Alice ran hard without stopping for a moment.
As she ran she encountered several Divine Knights, all of whom died under her sword with ease.
Her overall combat power had increased drastically after receiving that ability, so she was making the most of it.
Still, as she was running, she felt a terrifying presence girdle over her head, and a strange blow, coming from somewhere strange, hit her in the chest, sending her rolling down the mountain.

However, she was able to stop herself with ease, thanks to the two swords and her power.
'Was I followed?' Alice looked up when she felt a presence and was shocked.
A beautiful figure with long black hair greeted her.
'She is...' Alice jumped again to dodge one of this woman's attacks, which was attacking her without her being able to see where she was attacking from.
A tremendous explosion then occurred, and Alice thought she might use the smoke to escape, but then this woman appeared in front of her.
It was then that Alice was able to confirm it.
"Charlotte?" she asked in shock.
She remembered that appearance she had seen that night.
That amazing-looking woman with long black hair was the woman identified by Matt as Charlotte.
She had to be Matt's wife!
Though she was somehow glad it was so, she felt danger cross her neck and swung her blades to defend herself.
*CLANK*
A metallic sound echoed, and Alice could see Charlotte's face very close to hers as she wielded a long but thin sword.
'Is she a swordsman?' Alice thought, but she instantly had to defend herself with both swords from a brutal onslaught.
The impact of the swords missed her, and her body was shot backward to slam into the mountain.
A great gulp of blood spurted from her mouth. "Buagh!" She was in shock.
'So strong...' She couldn't even believe that her power of over 30,000 was like a piece of paper in the hands of this woman, who didn't seem to be too much older than her.
But Alice would not let herself be defeated so easily; she quickly stood up and grabbed her two swords, activating her ability.
"I don't know why you're attacking me; you should be Matthew's wife, the boy I travel with. But since you stand in my way, I must defeat you." Alice said coldly.
At the same time, she jumped up to face Charlotte, who uttered no words.
The mighty thundering sound of swords echoed through the place as the two women clashed.
